Yes, repeatability is the first requirement for accuracy. > Most "guns" just want to achieve a "maximum" (range, > load, etc.) Not sure I understand what you're getting at here. On the face of it that statement seems mistaken. Perhaps the most clever feature of the Giradoni mechanism is pitting the momentum of the hammer _against_ the air pressure bearing on the release valve. As the pressure goes down, the valve opens farther, at least partially compensating for the lower pressure. Since you will have control of the exact pressure that particular compensation isn't needed. Still, if the valve opens differently on timescales comparable to the departure time of the projectile repeatability will suffer and with it accuracy. Opening the valve poppet before the projectile moves is one way to help repeatability. For the velocities you envision that shouldn't be difficult. A pneumatic potato cannon seems like a good starting point. bob prohaska
